Pet owners are being warned about globules of rancid fat washed up on beaches after a dog fell seriously ill after eating some and had to be put to sleep.
Bright white lumps of decomposing fat, looking like snowballs, have been washing up in small quantities along the Welsh coast for at least a fortnight.
Experts are at loss to explain where it originated but speculate Atlantic storms could have washed it over to the UK or passing ships dumped it at sea.
While posing no risk to people the fat can cause potentially serious problems for dogs whose digestive systems are unable to cope with the rancid matter.
